What low loader axle bogie types are there?
Our (dolly) low loaders are available with different types of axle bogies, depending on the type of low loader and the loads to be transported. We offer low loader axle bogies from 2 to 5 axles, with three different suspension systems to choose from: air suspension, Broshuis SL2 independent wheel suspension and Broshuis PL2 pendular axles.
All our axle bogies with steering drums are equipped with maintenance-friendly adjustable tapered bearings. In addition, they are standard equipped with a double-ring hydraulic steering system, which improves safety. Naturally, the axle bogies are equipped with a remote control for auxiliary steering. To make things easy for the driver, they also have a ramp at both the front and rear. Read more about our different types of axle bogies here.

2-axle air suspended axle bogie
The most universal axle bogie is the air suspended axle bogie suitable for a wide range of transports. What makes this axle bogie unique is that the crane arm recess is open along the full length.
- W = 2,550 mm
- L = 2,925 mm
- H = 900 mm
- Crane arm recess 725 mm wide
- Air suspended 10 t axles
- Axle distance 1,335 mm
2-axle SL2 or PL2 axle bogie
If a higher load capacity is needed with a 2-axle bogie, an SL2 or PL2 axle bogie can be chosen. In addition, the compact axle bogies offer a greater steering angle than a beam axle, allowing more bed length within the legal length. The SL axle bogie has a full-length crane arm recess, while the PL axle bogie has no crane arm recess. Optionally, these axle bogies can be equipped with compression joints, allowing a linkable bed to be connected.
- W = 2,550 mm
- L = 2,830 mm
- H = 850 mm (SL)
- H = 875 mm (PL)
- Crane arm recess 410 mm wide (SL)
- Broshuis 12 t axles
- Axle distance 1,335 mm
3-axle SL2 axle bogie
You choose a 3-axle SL2 axle bogie because of its low tare weight and the fact that transports usually take place on public roads. This axle bogie is extremely low, which allows the load to protrude from the bed over the axle bogie and makes extending unnecessary. Moreover, the SL2 axle bogie has a full-length crane arm recess.
- W = 2,750 mm
- L = 4,300 mm
- H = 850 mm
- Crane arm recess 610 mm wide
- Broshuis 12 t axles
- Axle distance 1,360 mm
3-axle PL2 bogie
Thanks to the PL2's higher stroke, this low loader axle bogie is ideal for driving on rough terrains such as construction sites. In addition, this axle bogie features a full-length V-shaped crane arm recess. Optionally, this axle bogie can be equipped with compression joints, allowing a linkable bed to be connected.
- W = 2,750 mm
- L = 4,390 mm
- H = 1,030 mm
- Crane arm recess 800 mm wide
- Broshuis 12 t axles
- Axle distance 1,510 mm
4/5-axle PL2 axle bogies
The 4- and 5-axle PL2 axle bogie is very similar to the 3-axle PL2 axle bogie but is often used in combination with a removable dolly. This axle bogie is linkable as a standard and is wider than the 3-axle variant.
- W = 2,850 mm
- L = 5,900 mm (4-axle)
- L = 7,410 mm (5-axle)
- H = 1,100 mm
- Crane arm recess 920 mm wide
- Broshuis 12 t axles
- Axle distance 1,510 mm
